Fike Flame Quench:
Fike designs simple, reliable explosion protection solutions to meet your safety requirements. During normal
venting, an explosion is freely discharged, allowing flames and dust to exit the process vessel being protected.
When the process vessel is located indoors, ducts are generally used to safely convey the explosion outside the
building. However the cost of implementing larger explosion vents and ducts limits the practical use due to
dramatically decreased venting efficiency.
Fike FlamQuench flameless vents are designed to protect people and equipment from flames and dust. In the
event of an explosion, flame and dust discharge into the FlamQuench device. The flame from the explosion is
extinguished as it travels through several layers of heat-absorbing stainless steel mesh, while dust screens retain
a high percentage of particulate. This allows explosion venting to be utilized indoors or when the vent discharge
path can be dangerous to personnel.
